Biting in Eng v Ire
First topic message reminder :
Just a quick post to clarify that there was no gouging in the Eng-Ire match. It's come out that the Irish players were complaining of biting, specifically on Ferris's finger.

Re: Biting in Eng v Ire
What i dont understand is that Nigel Owens was there, right ther on the spot and he did not see anything.
Was this injury to Ferris's finger done before he came on the field?
Did Ferris try and gouge Hertley in the eye but miised and put his finger in Hertley's mouth instead? and Hertley's natural reaction was to close his mouth shut, and that how Feeris's foinger got bitten.
So all in all it was not Hertley's fault, but it was Feeris's fault all along.
But i just dont understand how the Ref who was on the spot did not see it.

Did you see it, majestic?
If you didn't see it then I don't hold out much hope that Owens should have seen it.
Afterall, this very 606 is kept alive by what TV watchers see that the ref never does. We always see more than the ref and hundreds of thousands of comments prove it.

Wasnt he watching the play? Youd hope he was. Do we know exactly when the bite happened, I assumed it was after the ball had long gone, there was a cuddle festival going on over there for the next two phases.
Given it occurred under a pile of bodies when Owens had a dozen things to look at other than forwards who were effectively out the game its hardly surprising he missed something the TV cameras couldnt pick up is it?

If they find Hartley had a bite to eat, then throw him out on his derriere. For a long, long time.
If they find there is no evidence, then we let it go.
Since it is, I presume, too late for any 'fish hooking' complaint against Ferris, the incident will end at the hearing.
Ha ha nonsense but highly amusing nonetheless!
You migth as well shut this site down altogether and suck all the fun out of life while you're at it Mr-let's-wait-and-see-boring-face!

Lookey for the result - sure we have to wait. I'm putting my theory down now. Putting it in the time capsule now.
Really?
Ferris and Hartley are lovers. Have been for years. They had a falling out over who gets to lead at the big dance. Ferris tried to tweak Hartley's nose in the ruck. He missed and impaled his finger against Hartley's teeth.

Re: Biting in Eng v Ire
Taff wishes to raise for the umpteenth time the issue of Conor Murray sliding his knees into the pelvis/hips/lower back area of J Davies after he scored in the first between Ireland and Wales. It has no relevance here other than every time something happens to an Irish player, Taff likes to bring it up in a Holly Wilaboobie-for-tat gesture - no idea what the point is tho?

I was merely bringing reference to the "judge not that ye be not judged" element."Let him without sin cast the first stone".
If I had seen a flood of Irish posters condemning one of their own's indiscretions I might take more seriously their complaints about another wrongdoer(allegedly)

Then why didn't you just say "judge not that ye be not judged"
It seems to me you would have a whole lot more credibility in your argument if you had taken the high road.

Nope..., just let him go back to Munster where I think his heart truly lies and where I think he'd find traction again and come back with a smug smile on his face to haunt our European club friends again.
Kidney is a Provincial hero in this country - the father of self-belief within Irish rugby. No knees in - just a "Thanks for everything, Declan, and we'll have to move on now with a new selection of coaches."

although I agree Murray didn't have to go down on Davies, there is no indication that he tried to maliciously injure davies, in fact davies doesn't even seem to have noticed. If Murray did connect Davies anywhere it is not near his kidney.

Happy Taffsineatbourne often make for very bitter people. Maybe there should be more 'Happiness' night classes in the valleys as nothing seems to please some of them. Earlier one of them was complaining that even though they were better than England on the 6N table, the superiority wasn't reflected on the IRB rankings board. Get it sorted IRB!

That's it folks there is no constructive debate happening here, there is thus far no proof of any of the incidents spoken about on this thread, even Murray is innocent as he has not been cited by the citing officer and there has been no complaint from JD either.
either continue like civilised adults or I will have no choice but to lock this thread.

Mate if I had intent to injure someone with my knee I am not going to miss by so much that the intended victim doesn't even know I tried. you are looking at a situation crying out to find someone guilty that hasn't even been cited.

Re: Biting in Eng v Ire
English bloke says"I tried to bite his finger off,but it's still there"-Not guilty as he didnt do what he tried to do.
Irish bloke says"I tried to hurt the try scorer,but I missed"-not guilty as he didnt do what he tried to do.
In either case,Rugby would have a huge scandal to deal with.
Is one worse than the other??

Yes, the thread itself is circular. But that's to be expected as if you judge every thread, they are all more or less circular if they last long enough.
But everone here has been civil...some might have been a little 'playful'... and only one took his hangover into the room with him.

If you only measure "good" by everyone agreeing on the subject then, no, it's not.
But how about measuring "good" by the tone of the thread, which, until the troll arrived, was very good natured and fun?
Is that not kind of the point?
The thread is not the problem. 99% of the folks posting on the thread are not causing any problem.
Solution....Stop the 1% rather than prevent the 99% from continuing to enjoy their circular but harmless and entertaining debate!
Just an idea!

I dont like the idea of players being issued censures for things the officials havent seen and being put in a position where they feel persecuted with no recourse to defend themselves mid game.
Is probably the most positive remark made in this whole debate. Owens effectively 'showed a white card' for later analysis.
But for the life of me I can't see any convincing evidence of foul play from that camera angle.
Hopefully more forensically credible footage will be unearthed.

Portnoy,
I agree that a virtual White Card was shown and that we can not see what happened but Owens seemed convinced he had seen something significant on Ferris's finger to warrent a lecture to the captains and the English front row!

Re: Biting in Eng v Ire
Did he lecture the front row? He sent the captains to talk to their players then set up the scrum, I assume what he was saying related to that rather than something hed already communicated via the captain. He should be calling the player over with his captain if he wants to speak to him directly.
The way this was handled was very good, it was put to bed and the game went on with no apparent ill feeling. Mincing about with white cards and the fanfare surrounding that only wouldve inflamed the situation.

Fine MmeF.
I agree with what you say, but virtually the whole debate has revolved about unseen incidents and supposition about foul play regarding biting/fish hooking and whatever. But until there is more (any, in fact) convincing evidence, I tend to agree with Biltong (or was it Kiwi?) that this debate is a bit circular.
But if that's what people want, then so be it.

Re: Biting in Eng v Ire
Is this proposed White Card the same thing as going "on report" in League?

I think it came from League but is being used in Union somewhere in the SH as a trial?
That could be wrong though.
Can't see the point myself.

I believe so SAM, but my understanding is that the 'on report' thing is given to an individual. But I may be wrong.
Mind you the white card may be as well. All a bit pointless really as the whole thing could be handled exactly as Nigel did.
